3 Preface Thee Worrlld Tourriism Sceenee According to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer (April 2014), international overnight tourist arrivals grew by 5 percent in 2013, reaching the remarkable 1,087 million arrivals. This increase in arrivals posted an increase in International tourism receipts reaching US$ 1159 billion worldwide in 2013, up from US$ 1078 billion in By UNWTO region, prospects for 2014 are strongest for Asia and the Pacific (5% to 6%), followed by Africa (4% to 6%). Thiis Reeporrtt This report is a regular publication of the Lesotho Tourism Development Corporation that aims to provide trends for international arrivals to Lesotho and presents the analysis of 2013 international tourists arrivals to Lesotho International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 3

4 Arrival Statistics Introduction The analysis of International visitor arrivals to Lesotho includes; total number of arrivals to Lesotho recorded from 10 ports in a year and month, purpose of visit, mode of transport to Lesotho, how long visitors stay and country of residence. The data presented in this report was gathered from 10 ports of entry namely, Caledon spoort, Moshoeshoe I International Airport, Vanroyeen s Gate, Bridge, Makhaleng Bridge, Qacha s Nek Bridge and Maseru Bridge. Caution: care should be taken when quoting figures presented in this report because they could have been more but due to the migration of the Immigration Department form the manual to the electronic system, which is still being piloted, we might have lost some of the data from the beginning of August to December Maputsoe Bridge, Sani Pass Border Post, Peka Bridge, Tele Overrvi iew off intterrnatti i ionall arrrri ivalss,, 2006 tto 2013 Figure 1 shows the distribution of arrivals year since The figure shows that, arrivals to Lesotho assumed a fluctuating trend with troughs observed between 2006 and 2009 as well as 2010 and The reason for the first trough was the economic down turn that was experienced in those years, while the second one was the result of the 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament that was hosted in South Africa which resulted in an increased number of arrivals to Lesotho followed by a drop in In 2011 arrivals to Lesotho also increased because of the heavy snow that was seen in that year, which inhibited access to most of the popular attractions as well as undertaking of some touristic activities that may not be suitable during the snow season (e.g pony trekking, 4x4 trekking and mountaineering). The observed increase of arrivals in 2012 resulted from a combination of increased marketing efforts, favorable weather conditions during the peak season (June to September) and the extension of data collection to Qacha s Nek Bridge. A further increase in arrivals was also observed in 2013, which lead to arrivals recorded in International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 4

5 Further analysis in figure 2 below indicates that, with regards to arrivals to Lesotho, 2013 begun with a higher note as compared to This is indicated by 24.5 percent of the total arrivals recorded during the first quarter of 2013 compared to 21.0 percent in A slight drop of 1.2 percent was observed during the second quarteras compared to the first quarter of 2013, thus arrivals recorded during the second accounted for 23.3 percent of the total arrival in The same proportion was observed in A 3.0 percentage increase was seen during the third quarter with arrivals for that period constituting 26,3 percent of the total arrivals while in 2012 the arrivals in that quarter made up 24.6 percent. During the fourth quarter, the Department of Immigration started the processes of migrating from themanual to the electronic systems of capturing the data at ports and this affected the data capturing negatively because most of the visitors were not captured (because they were not required to fill the forms while the electronis systems were still being piloted). Thus the process resulted in decreased records of arrivals, hence a drop of 0.4 and 5.4 percent from the third quarter and in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2012 respectively. Figure 3 below illustrates the seasonality of arrivals to Lesotho over the months. According to the recorded numbers of arrivals to Lesotho during 2013 among the individual months, as compared to 2012, arrivals to Lesotho increased by 16.6 percent in January followed by a smaller increase of 11.7 percent in February and a high increase of 28.2 percent March, which resulted from larger number of visitors who visited during the Easter holidays. During the month of April, the number of visitors decreased by 20.4 percent. In May the number of arrivals recuperated, registering an increase of 16.5 percent and a further 22.4 percent increase was observed in June as compared June Thereafter the arrivals increased by as little as 6 percent and 6.6 percent in July and August 2013 International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 5

6 respectively. The September month saw an increase of 17.8 percent while October only increased by 1 percent as compared to October During November and December the number arrivals recorded decreased by 13.4 and 22.2 percent respectively. This was the result of the changes in the immigration system as highlighted above. The overall growth in arrivals to Lesotho in 2013 was 2.5 percent as compared to Wherre did Vissi ittorrss tto LLessottho ccome ffrrom? This section presents analysis of arrivals by region and country of residence. Table 1 below illustrates that, arrivals from Africa maintained the first position, hitting as high as percent of total arrivals to Lesotho. Europe maintained the second position with 3.8 percent while Asia and America came third and fourth with 1.0 and 0.8 percent respectively. From the African market, South Africa contributed the largest share (97.3 percent) while from the European market, Holland contributed the largest share of 29.3 percent. United States of America contributed 78.6 percent of the American arrivals while from the Asian market China was on the lead with 31.6 percent International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 6

In order to have a transport system that is convenient to the visitors, we need to have information on mode of transport preferred by visitors. Table 2 shows that, Moshoeshoe I International Airport, the only air access point to Lesotho, handled only 3.3 percent of total visitors to Lesotho in The remaining 96.7 percent used road transport to get to Lesotho during the year under review. This can be attributed to the fact that the majority of visitors came from South Africa which is easily reachable (since other visitors can use public transport) and affordable by road. Further analysis from the same table by Purpose of visit illustrates that, more than half (61.0 percent) of visitors came for Other purposes which could probably include those who came to visit friends and relatives. A notable share of slightly less than one third of the total ( International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 7

8 percent) came for holiday while 10.5 percent came for Business. The table further shows that, among those who came by air, Business visitors were dominant with 48.1 percent while among those who used road transport, Visitors who came for Other purposes were dominant with 61.8 percent. Table 2: Percentage Distribution of Arrivals by Mode of Transport and Purpose of Visit Purpose Air Road % of Total Business 48,1 9,2 10,5 Employment 1,5 0,4 0,4 Holiday 10,2 28,2 27,6 Returning Resident 0,4 0,2 0,2 School 0,2 0,1 0,1 Other 39,4 61,8 61,0 Not Stated 0,2 0,2 0,2 % of Total 3,3 96, The momentum pattern of visitors to Lesotho has undergone significant changes, including the fluctuation of the visitors numbers over the years. Likewise, figure 4 illustrates that, the proportion of holiday visitors has continuously declined over the years since 2008 to 2011 and then slightly increased by 1.46 percent from in 2011 to in 2012 and then declined again in 2013 to reach 27.6 percent. On the contrary, visitors who stated Other as their purpose of visit have been slightly increasing over the same period with a slight decrease observed in 2012 followed by an increase in 2013, registering 61.8 percent of the total arrivals. It is a noteworthy fact that, these (Other) could include visitors coming to visit friends and relatives as it has been indicated earlier in the report that, the current data collection tool does not make provision for such a category to be clearly distinguished International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 8

9 How long l did vissi ittorrss ssttay in i LLessottho? Longer stay, which may later translate to increased occupancy rates and revenue, may be encouraged through the development of appropriate tourism facilities and activities throughout the country. It is therefore imperative to compile and analyse information on Length of Stay. It should be noted that the analysis on Length of Stay presented in this report is based on intended not actual Length of Stay. And for the purpose of this analysis, only overnight visitors will be included in the analysis (same day visitors will be excluded). Figure 5 indicates that, almost three quarters of the total arrivals were overnight and slightly more than a quarter was same day visitors. Figure 6 shows the percentage distribution of visitors by number of intended length of stay in nights during It shows that, the majority (31.5 percent) of overnight visitors stayed for 1 to 3 days, followed by those who stayed for 4 to 7 nights with 25.3 percent then by those who stayed for a month to months with 22.6 percent then 1 week to 2 weeks with 17.7 percent and a very small proportion of those who stayed for 2 weeks to approximately 4 weeks. There were very few visitors who stated for 57 to 91 nights and 92 and over nights, registering only 0.1 percent each International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 9

10 Further analysis of average intended length of stay by purpose of visit in figure 7 above shows that, the average intended length of stay for all overnight visitors was 12 nights in Scholars and workers registered the highest average intended lengths of stay of 16 and 15 nights respectively. The number of intended nights by Business visitors was lowest at 8 nights. Holiday makers and those who came for other purposes intended to stay for an average of 12 nights. Table 3 shows the number of visitor nights by purpose of visit. The total number of nights spent by overnight visitors who came to Lesotho in 2013 is estimated to More than half (64.5) of total visitor nights were stayed by those who came for other purposes while 28.0 percent was stayed by Holiday makers. Peculiar to the Table 3: Visitor Nights by Purpose of Visit Purpose Visitor Nights % of Total Business Employment Holiday Returning Resident School Other Not Stated All Visitors analysis is the fact that, scholars and workers had the highest average length of stay but their nights were lower. This was due to the fact that, though they stayed longer but they are few in numbers. In simple terms this means that, few visitors who stay longer may not make up more nights as compared to more visitors who on average, stay for shorter nights International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 10

11 Accommodation Statistics Introduction This section provides an overview of the accommodation sector in Lesotho. International and domestic visitors use a variety of accommodation while they travel. These include hotels, lodges, guest houses, bed & breakfast, hostels, farmers training centers and backpackers. This report presents the analysis of information collected from all accommodation establishments in Lesotho. The analysis thereof will cover the accommodation room capacity, bed occupancy, revenue accrued and employment in the accommodation sector. Supply off Accccommodatti ion How big was the accommodation sector? In 2013, there were 154 accommodation establishments in Lesotho, the same as previous year but 6 percent more than 2011 where there were 145 establishments. The supply of accommodation rooms by type is presented in figure 8. The figure shows that, B&B and Guest Houses accounted for the largest share (59.09 percent) of the total accommodation capacity in 2013, followed by Lodges with percent, Hotels with percent and others* types percent. *Other includes rooms in backpackers, hostels, FTCs and homestays 2013 International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 11

12 How many people were employed in the accommodation sector? In 2013, there were 1,925 employees in the over a half (60 percent) of these employees are females accommodation sector. This number reflect a decrease of 758 emplyees when compared to 2012, there could be varoius reasons for this signigficant drop but failure of submission by big establishments for 2013 made a very while the reamining 40 percent were males. It further shows that, all types of establishments employed more females than males (in all categories females constitute at least 50 percent or more). significant dent in this regard. Figure 9 below shows that, 2013 International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 12

13 Demand fforr Accccommodatti ion Guest Nights spent in 2013 Guest nights are one of the important yardstick in measuring the use of accommodation facilities. The total number of guest nights recorded in 2013 was 432,928. This means in 2013, 432,928 guests were received in accommodation facilities in Lesotho. Of that number, domestic guest nights accounted for percent while percent were international guest nights. Although there are more domestic guest, this is due to the fact that, the main purchaser of accommodation in Lesotho is the Government through workshops that are held by different Ministries. Furthermore, this feature also coincides with the fact that, the majority of international arrivals to Lesotho came from South Africa, where mojority of them visit frinds and reletives International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 13

14 Market Share of Guest Nights by Accommodation Type In 2013, hotels hosted the largets share of guest nights at percent of total guest nights, followed by B&B/Guest Houses with percent, Lodges (16.08 percent) and Other types with only percent as illustrated in figure13 below. Comparing the guests nights by type of guest, the figure further shows that, hotels accounted for the largest Share of dometstic guests with percent while international guests constituted percent of total guests. B&B/GuestHouse were second with a share of percent of domestic and percent of international. Lodger had however similer distiribution of 7.85 percent of both domestic and international. This was mainly because hotels have larger conference facilities than lodges, hence government workshops for domestic/locals were mostly held at hotels some B&Bs and guest houses. The Seasonal pattern in the Accommodation Sector Figure 14 below illustrates how accommation performed over period of 12 months. The period of higher demand for accommodation was in March for internatiol guests and in July for domestic guests. There has been a decline for international guest from April through othe year whild for domestric there has been and improvement in from July although there has been some flactuation till December International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 14

In 2013, Maseru had the highest numbers of guest nights for both international and domestic guests and again Maseru is the only district where international guest were more than the domestic guest. Quthing is the least in total number of guests that it hosted in Figure 15: Distribution of accommodation demand by district and type of guests 2013 International arrivals and accommodation statistics report Page 15

16 Occupancy Table 4 below shows the distribution of bed Occupancies by type of establishment and district. It illustrates that, Maseru had the highest bed occupancy of percent followed by Leribe and Mokhotlong with and percent respectively. Thaba-Tseka was the least with 9.42 percent. In 2013, the overall bed occupancy rate increased by 1 percent from 20 percent of 2013 to percent in Analysis by type of establishment from the same table shows that hotels recorded the highest bed occupancy at percent followed by B&B/Guest houses at percent while lodges are at percent and other type of establishment are at percent.

Accommodation establishments sell a variety of services other that accommodation itself. These services include laundry services, sales of food and beverages, conference facilities services, camping facilities and touristic and sporting activities. Figure 17 presents the distribution of revenue accrued across the services sold by type of guests. It shows that, across all the types of services sold, residents accounted for the largest shares.

19 Conclusion and Recommendations Lesotho has the potential to welcome even more visitors. Even more interesting is the fact that since 2008, the statistics have been perpetually increasing with a peak observed in 2010 because of the World Cup Soccer Tournament and a slight decrease in The tourism sector in general should therefore be planned in a broad, multi-sectoral manner that focuses on economic and social aspects, infrastructure and tourism product development as well as touristic activities to attract more. In this way, tourism in Lesotho would be more vibrant and visitors could stay longer in the country thereby translate to more tourism receipts. This would not only benefit the tourism sector but other sectors as well. The Corporation therefore needs to foster and strengthen working relations with other institutions including those that are outside the tourism sector to facilitate infrastructural development and enhance training. The tool that is used for collection of arrivals statistics should be revised to allow proper classification of visitors in terms of their purposes of visit and length of stay so as to precisely measure these variables. This will help in the proper planning and assessment of the sector s development. Important to note also is the fact that, currently we are not able to capture the departure statistics because of limited resources, thus this should be considered for future developments. This will help us to measure the length of stay in actual terms instead of the intended length of stay of the length of stay since we can be able to match the departure and arrival statistics. We are however hoping that, the roll out of the new electronic immigration system which is being currently piloted at the three major ports will be a remedy to these problems because the template has incorporated the revised format of the arrival/departure form. That being achieved, our statistics will also be internationally comparable, quantity and quality wise. Definitions of Terms International Visitor: refers to any person who, travels to a country other than that in which he/she has his/her usual residence, for a period not more than 12 months and whose main purpose of visit is other than the activity remunerated from within the country visited.
